How can you treat stomach pain and diarrhea caused by ibuprofen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Motrin GI pain: Probable stomach ulcer as stomach lining is burned by motrin, also distress in the GI system causes increased all GI organs motility included the colon. When it constricts much faster and stronger, the stools go out without having its water content reabsorbed, resulting in liquid stools. Stop and never re-use any anti-inflammatory again, then add stomach acid reducing pills twice daily for 2-4w.
